However, the report went around concerning Him all the more; and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by Him of their infirmities.
Luke 5:15
It was a few days ago that I left myself a memo to jot something down about this text. But, now it is the Lord's Day, and it is all the more appropriate: would that we would come together to Christ, first and foremost to hear Him.
Yes, let us draw near to be healed by Him of our infirmities. By this He is glorified. This He loves to do for us. But, let the first and great reason that we gather to Him be... He Himself. That we might hear the words of His mouth, because they are His words and His mouth... because it is He.
There is much of which we need healing. But, let us give Him the prerogative in our meeting with Him: Lord, speak, for Your servants are listening.
